Excluding the impact of these non-recurring charges, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 would have been approximately $4.9 million or $0.27 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $0.5 million or $(0.03) per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Excluding the impact of these non-recurring charges, net income for the first half of fiscal 2008 would have been approximately $2.8 million or $0.16 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $6.2 million or $(0.37) per diluted share for the first half of fiscal 2007. These non-GAAP figures are provided to allow for the comparison of underlying earnings, net of non-recurring charges providing insight into the on-going operations of the Company.
Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems Chairman and CEO, stated, We are pleased to report improved operating results for each of our business divisions this quarter. The significant improvement in our earnings this quarter clearly demonstrates the efforts that we have undertaken to improve our performance is paying off. Although we are pleased with the results, we still have work to do as we progress on the previously announced implementation of approximately $8 million in annualized cost savings while continuing to look for operating efficiencies as we strive towards our long-term financial objectives.
Mr. Chopra, continued, For the quarter, the Company achieved record revenues led by a strong performance within our Security division in which revenues increased 44% compared to the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. Our Security division continues to see increased activity for the Cargo and Vehicle Inspection product lines. We also demonstrated the strength of our product development capabilities by launching the Rapiscan MVXi, a multi-view X-ray system for the passenger checkpoint inspection. This product has garnered considerable attention internationally and in late December we announced the receipt of our first order.
In December 2007, the Company completed the buyback of the remaining 16% minority interest of its Healthcare division, Spacelabs Healthcare, Inc., which was previously listed on the London AIM exchange. Commenting on the transaction, Mr. Chopra stated, The buyback simplified our capital structure and sharpens our focus on the operating performance of the Healthcare division rather than on managing two public companies. Our Healthcare division reported record revenues and the impact of our restructuring activities can clearly be seen as operating income for the quarter improved by $7.6 million year over year. We remain on track to open our new Healthcare manufacturing facility in China this quarter which we anticipate will improve gross margins beginning in fiscal 2009 for the Healthcare business.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a record backlog of $232 million compared to $224 million as of September 30, 2007, an increase of $8 million.
